Camelot Producer's Letter

Mythic's moderately evil overlord Walt Yarbrough posted a new producer's letter on the Camelot Herald outlining some of the upcoming changes in 1.84. Highlights include a new 45-49 battleground, new underwater areas for Albion and Hibernia, more class changes, giving every class an additional master level path option, plus un-nerfing bolts.

Since version 1.81, we have adjusted nineteen classes, in many cases making very significant changes. In this version, we are taking a step back, to assess the impact of all of these changes as a whole, and refine these adjustments as needed. In many (but not all) cases, we feel that we did not increase a class's abilities enough, and we will be making additional improvements.

Master Level lines: Since the launch of ToA, some master level lines were not perfectly suited to the classes that had them. If we swapped out Master Level lines, we would be taking away a choice from our players, which is never an ideal solution. In this version, rather than swapping out Master Level lines, we plan to offer every class an additional choice of a third existing Master Level line.

I'm still giddy from the Valk changes myself, but this other stuff sounds hot as well. I like the idea of a new BG; more master level options is always a good thing and I have a darkcarver (48rc/24dark) runie, so un-nerfing bolts is all good too. What are bolts? Bolts are uber high damage nukes that have longer range than normal spells but are on extended casting timers. Right now, they will "miss" if the target is in combat, so landing them is often problematic. Removing the in-combat restriction should fix that.
